well, the 150k pots aren't going to work for me. they are 3/8 hole mounts, and the outlaw uses the smaller hole mount, and I don't want to drill them out any larger... so going with 100k pots instead.... (I only have one original 150k pot)

the aution stuff was delivered over the weekend... now to start putting it back together... I was still entertaining the idea of a different pickguard. In regards to the "gaudy" comment previously, I asked my wife, an said, not gaudy, but "girlie" so last night I found pics of guitars with abalone pickguards, and others, and checked out some of the custom pg sites out there... was kinda leaning towards an aged white pearl pg, but decided that an Outlaw should be dressed in back, so original it stays....

Didn't mean to sway you one way or the other on the pickguard man... but I think the Black theme is cool, and hell you already bought the original one! You should trace it sometime as I think we're gonna see more and more chopped Electras, already a new batch of pickups on eBay currently. Mike.

No problem with the swaying... I need input sometimes Pickguard Heaven already has a template for the 720 http://pickguards.us/

the other pickups on eBay now I hink ar from the same guy I got mine from, but he has several other Electra MPCs, and has been rebuilding them. I think now, he's just selling off the extras... the wiring and trc from mine went to help revive a x-730, which I would have done too, as I like that color way better than the charcoal burst....

last night I installed the stop piece, and the ingot... the original bridge is kinda corroded and worn though... I have an aftermarket black roller bridge that fits the ingot, jut needs the post threads shortened, as was mentioned earlier... the string spacing is just a tad wider on the roller bridge (1mm each side maybe), but shouldn't be enough to matter....

I also glued on the original nut, and put on my tort trc... will get some "in-progress" pics this evening....
